The creator of Just Die Already really wants to be friends with Hideo Kojima

Do me a solid?

The developer of Just Die Already really wants to be friends with Hideo Kojima.

Armin Ibrisagic, co-founder of DoubleMoose Games, plopped a not-so-subtle message to the Metal Gear Solid creator in the latest trailer for Just Die Already, which is supposed to be a parody of Death Stranding.

"Hideo Kojima, please unblock my number," the trailer begins.

Just Die Already is described as an "old people mayhem sandbox game". Ibrisagic worked on Goat Simulator, and you can see elements of that game in this. "You are old and angry and you've just been kicked out of your retirement home. How will you survive in a world that wants you to Just Die Already?" reads the official blurb.

It sounds like fun! But will Hideo Kojima care?
